Description

In this action/comedy directed by Adam McKay (ANCHORMAN) New York City detective Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell) is more comfortable pushing pencils than busting bad guys. A meticulous forensic accountant, his numbers are never off. Detective Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg) is Gamble's reluctant partner. Try as Detective Hoitz might to get back on the streets, an embarrassing encounter with Derek Jeter has left a sizable black mark on his permanent record. Detectives Danson (Dwayne Johnson) and Highsmith (Samuel L. Jackson) are the complete opposites of Gamble and Hoitz: unwaveringly confident, they always get their man, and they do it with style to spare. When the time comes for Gamble and Hoitz to prove their mettle and save the day, their incompetence becomes the stuff of legend.

Detective Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell) and Detective Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg) are a joke at the police station. Can this down and out duo, nerd and hot headed tough guy, overcome a plethora of humorous obstacles, accidents, and misunderstandings to bust the bad guys in a high profile case and gain the respect of their peers?

Whoever it was who thought Ferrell and Wahlberg would make a good on screen duo was a genius. Your average man would think that wouldn't work a jot, but the chemistry they create is instantly watchable and hugely enjoyable throughout.
I was expecting something as good as Anchorman based on the reviews that I'd read, and on that front I'm afraid to say I was dissapointed. However, it is more akin with Step Brothers, which is frankly an awesome film - as this is.
If you are into slapstick style classic Ferrell humour, then this is another great title for him. The addition of Steve Coogan as well as the Rock (Dwayne Johnson) and Samuel L is also brilliant.
My only advise is to not watch the trailer first, as wait for those moments to appear, and it spoils them when they do.
Great film, a lot of laughs to be had throughout, but the humour isn't for everyone.Read full review

very funny if you like will farrel. mark wahlberg good as straight guy. A friend loved this film and related all the best bits to me.I coud'nt wait to see it but it failed to be as funny as his version to me, difficult to live up to ones own imagination. Worth seeing all the same.
